Nut up or shut up.

      “There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust” –Fidel Castro

      Can’t we all just get along? I mean really! Why the fuck do we hate everyone? Why can’t we accept the underground, the other, the different? It’s time to pluralize. It’s time to say “yeah, I DON’T get you, but I want to.” We see something foreign and we revile it like last week’s leftovers. It’s shit like the Holocaust, Darfur, and the fucking traditional marriage skinheads that turn our world to shit. 

      We need to take our place back. We’re young. We have all the time in the world. We need to change things now. This isn’t a call to change you profile picture to an equals sign, it’s a call to war. It’s time to nut up or shut up. Make the difference. Be the new change. We have to cut out our intolerance. Pluralism is the chemo to the cancer of our society. This isn’t the time to play nice. We’ve been beaten down and repressed for years. It’s time to change that. It’s time for us to level the playing field. No I’m not a communist, but our overly capitalist, xenophobic, and dog-eat-dog world has got to end now. The only other option is the status quo, the norm, the same shit we’ve always dealt with with passive acceptance. Sure, it annoyed us, but who ever spoke up for change? 

      We need to rock normalcy to its core. It’s high time this shit ended. Pluralism is our brave new world. I mean really, can’t we all just get along?
